1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the officials of Israel, the officials of the tribes, and the officers of the companies who served the king by division, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.
Dawid frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ nyinaa kɔɔ Yerusalem. Saa mpanimfoɔ no ne mmusuakuo no ntuanofoɔ, asahene a wɔdeda akodɔm akuo dumienu no ano, asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ a wɔaka no, wɔn a wɔhwɛ ɔhene agyapadeɛ ne ne mmoa so, ahemfie nhenkwaa, akofoɔ akɛseɛ ne akofoɔ a wɔaka wɔ ahennie no mu no.
2 Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, "Hear me, my brothers, and my people. As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
Dawid sɔre gyinaa wɔn anim, kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me nuanom ne me nkurɔfoɔ, anka mepɛɛ sɛ mɛsi asɔredan a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka, Onyankopɔn nan ntiasoɔ no bɛsi afebɔɔ. Meyɛɛ ho ahoboa nyinaa sɛ mede rebɛsi,
3 But God said to me, 'You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.'
nanso Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wosi asɔredan de hyɛ me din animuonyam, ɛfiri sɛ, woyɛ ɔkofoɔ a woahwie mogya bebree aguo.’
4 However Jehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
“Nanso, Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ayi me wɔ mʼagya abusua mu sɛ, menni ɔhene wɔ Israel so daa. Na wayi Yuda abusuakuo sɛ wɔnni ɔhene na Yuda mmusua mu nso, ɔyii mʼagya abusua. Na mʼagya mma mu no nso, ɛyɛɛ Awurade fɛ sɛ ɔsii me Israel nyinaa so ɔhene.
5 Of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Jehovah's kingdom over Israel.
Na me mmammarima pii a Awurade de wɔn maa me no mu nso, ɔyii Salomo sɛ ɔnni mʼadeɛ wɔ nʼahennie Israel ahennwa so.
6 He said to me, 'Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Wo babarima Salomo na ɔbɛsi mʼasɔredan ne nʼadihɔ nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ mayi no sɛ me babarima na mɛyɛ nʼagya.
7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.'
Na sɛ ɔkɔ so di mʼahyɛdeɛ ne me mmara so, sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ seesei yi a, mɛma nʼahennie atim afebɔɔ.’
8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
“Enti, seesei a Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn danseni yi, menam wo so de saa asodie yi ma Israel nyinaa a wɔyɛ Awurade manfoɔ no: Monhwɛ yie na monni Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so sɛdeɛ mobɛfa saa asase pa yi, na moagya ama mo asefoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ daa.
9 You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
“Afei, me ba Salomo, hunu wʼagyanom Onyankopɔn. Fa wʼakoma ne wʼadwene nyinaa sɔre no, na som no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade hunu akoma biara mu, enti ɔhunu na ɔnim emu nhyehyɛeɛ ne nsusuiɛ biara. Sɛ wohwehwɛ no a, wobɛhunu no. Na sɛ wopo no a, ɔbɛpo wo afebɔɔ.
10 Consider now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house for him as a sanctuary. Be strong, and do it."
Enti, fa no asɛnhia. Awurade ayi wo sɛ si asɔredan ma no, sɛ ne kronkronbea. Yɛ den, na di dwuma no.”
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;
Afei Dawid de asɔredan no ho mfoni a sikakorabea, ɔsoro adan, emu adan ne emu kronkronbea a Apam Adaka no mfofareɛm a ɛhɔ yɛ mpatabea, faako a wɔde Adaka no bɛsi maa Salomo.
12 and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God's house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
Nhyehyɛeɛ biara a Honhom no de maa Dawid a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan adihɔ ho, akyire adan, Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu sikakorabea ne akyɛdeɛ a wɔde ama Onyankopɔn no, ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo.
13 also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Jehovah;
Saa ara na Dawid kyerɛɛ Salomo dwuma a asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ nkyekyɛmu ahodoɔ no nyɛ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu. Na ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nneɛma pɔtee a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu a wɔde sɔre Awurade ne deɛ wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ.
14 of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
Dawid kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ dodoɔ a wɔmfa nyɛ nneɛma a ɛho bɛhia.
15 by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;
Ɔkyerɛɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ dodoɔ a ɛho bɛhia ama sikakɔkɔɔ nkaneadua no ne nkanea no, ɛnna ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodoɔ a ɛho bɛhia ama dwetɛ nkaneadua no ne nkanea no yɛ, ne ɛkwan korɔ a wɔbɛfa so de emu biara adi dwuma no so.
16 and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
Ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodoɔ a wɔmfa nyɛ ɛpono a wɔde Hyiadan mu Burodo no bɛto so ɛnna ɔkyerɛɛ dwetɛ dodoɔ a wɔmfa nyɛ apono a ɛka ho no.
17 and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
Dawid sane kyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ dodoɔ a wɔmfa nyɛ ɛnam darewa a wɔde bɛsosɔ afɔrebɔ ɛnam mu, atam, sukuruwa ne nyowaa ne dwetɛ dodoɔ a wɔmfa nyɛ ayowaa biara.
18 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
Deɛ ɔde wieeɛ ne sɛ, ɔkyerɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔabere ho dodoɔ a wɔde bɛyɛ nnuhwam afɔrebukyia no ne sikakɔkɔɔ Kerubim a nʼataban atrɛ wɔ Awurade Adaka no so.
19 "All this," said David, "I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of Jehovah, even all the works of this pattern."
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Salomo sɛ, “Saa mfoni yi nyinaa, Awurade nsa na ɔde twerɛ maa me.”
20 David said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Jehovah God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah is finished.
Afei, Dawid toaa so sɛ, “Yɛ den na ma wo bo nyɛ duru na yɛ adwuma no. Nsuro na mma dwumadie no kɛseyɛ ntu wo bo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade Onyankopɔn, me Onyankopɔn, ka wo ho. Ɔrenni wo hwammɔ na ɔrennya wo. Ɔbɛhwɛ sɛ dwumadie biara a ɛfa Awurade Asɔredan no sie ho no, wɔbɛwie no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
21 Look, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God's house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command."
Asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ akuo no bɛsom wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mu. Wɔn a aka a wɔwɔ nimdeɛ ahodoɔ no nyinaa bɛyi wɔn yam aboa, na ntuanofoɔ ne ɔman no nyinaa nso bɛyɛ biribiara a wobɛka.”
